The list of rotifer and micro-crustacean taxa identified in the inland waters of the regions of Russian Arctic

Abstract

The list of species of zooplankton and meiofauna contains our own findings and literature data [2-8] chiefly for the period from the 1960-s to the 2010-s (1960-2017). Our own findings were obtained by analyzing samples of zooplankton, meiobenthos, and two cores of bottom sediments that we collected once in summer. This work was undertaken within the framework of the Freshwater Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP-Freshwater) of CAFF. The work was performed in part as Federal Tasks to the Department of Animal Ecology of the Institute of Biology of Komi Science Centre of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (АААА-А17-117112850235-2) (to EF and OK), to the Institute of Biophysics of the Federal Research Center “Krasnoyarsk Science Center” of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (project No. 51.1.1) and the Siberian Federal University (project No. FSRZ-2020-0006) (to OD). The paleolimnological part of this work was supported by grant from Russian Science Foundation (project 20-17-00135). L. Frolova and G. Nigamatzyanova were supported by the subsidy allocated to Kazan Federal University for the state assignment #671-2020-0049 in the sphere of scientific activities and by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (grant 18-05-00406). The work was partly financially supported by the RFBR grant: 20-04-00145_а (to EF). References [1] E. Fefilova, O. Dubovskaya, L. Frolova, E. Abramova, O. Kononova, G. Nigamatzyanova, I. Zuev, E.
